A Retrospective Analysis Of The Prevalence Of Dental Implant Failure

Abstract

Aim: The goal of the current study was to identify the prevalence of dental implant failure and the risk factors that affect how well dental implants perform.

Materials & Methods: The current retrospective study involved 200 patients of both sexes who had received 302 dental implants. The implant's length, diameter, and location were all noted.

Results: In 120 males, 176 dental implants and in 80 females, 126 dental implants were placed. There were 12 (10%) dental implant failures in men and 6 (7.5%) in women. Implant failure was higher with implant length lesser than 10 mm and lesser observed with implant length above 11.5 mm, the difference was statistically significant (0.05). The failure is more with diameter lesser than 3.75 mm.

Conclusion: Implants with a smaller diameter and smaller length had higher rates of dental implant failure.
